The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Surface Forces Logistics Center (SFLC) is issuing a Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) for Solicitation 70Z04026QSBPL0012, concerning FY 26 Drydock Repairs for USCG STA Marathon. This questionnaire is for contractors to validate their performance through references, which must be submitted directly to the USCG Contract Specialist, Janet M. Delaney, by June 26, 2026, at 2:00 PM Eastern. The PPQ collects detailed information about the evaluator, the contractor being assessed, and the contract details, including type, pricing, dollar values, and period of performance. It requires evaluators to rate the contractor's performance in areas such as Quality of Product or Service, Schedule, Cost Control, Business Relations, and Management of Key Personnel, using a five-tier rating system from Exceptional to Unsatisfactory. The form also includes a summary section asking if the organization would award another contract to the contractor and for overall comments. This document is crucial for assessing potential contractors' past performance in government procurement.
